Literacy-You Otter Be Reading!
Reading:
Reading is Thinking!
Reading is an active process, we decode the words, make meaning from them, from the context of the words around them, and from our background knowledge of the world.
We choose “just right books” in fiction and non-fiction texts, and read a broad variety of subject matter. While we read, we visualize the story, sequence the plot, events, actions and motivations of characters. We predict what will happen next, we ask questions, check our predictions and determine the main idea. We check to see if what we are reading makes sense.
We monitor our thinking to ask ourselves if we understood what we read, if we could retell it, if we have questions, and ask what connections (to ourselves, other texts, the world) that can we make. We go back and reread, use text features, and adjust our reading rate, to correct any misunderstandings or gaps in our comprehension.
Phonics:
Phonics involves basic rules for word structure and will help your child to decode unfamiliar words.
We encourage your child to look for words inside of words (for example: ‘standing’ has the word ‘and’ in it.)
To use word families to create other words (ex. the ‘ock’ family makes words such as dock, clock, sock etc.).
Practice sight words (common words- see Dolch list) and those that cannot be “sounded out” (such as ‘could’, ‘know’, “laugh”) and notice common endings such as “ough” (ex. rough, cough).
Decode by analyzing the beginning, middle and ending of the word and asking,
“Does it sound right, look right, and make sense?”
